Bone Density (DEXA)

DEXA scans measure bone density. The DEXA machine uses a special, low, dose X-ray. A picture is taken of the selected bone area (or areas) being scanned. Your information is scanned into a computer that is connected to the DEXA machine. It measures the quality and quantity of the material inside your bones. This is referred to as your “bone density.“

Breast MRI

A Breast MRI is a very sensitive type of imaging that provides a more detailed view of the area being scanned. If a lump or mass is detected following a mammogram, a breast MRI can help the doctor closely identify the findings.

Breast Ultrasound

A breast ultrasound is a noninvasive procedure used to assess the breasts. Ultrasound technology allows radiologists to have another visualization of the breast tissue and blood flow to areas inside the breasts. Breast Ultrasounds are often used along with mammography.

CT Scan

A CT or CAT scan is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce both horizontal and vertical cross-sectional images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, organs and blood vessels. CT scans are more detailed than standard X-rays.

EKG

An electrocardiogram (EKG) is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heartbeat. With each beat, an electrical impulse (or "wave") travels through the heart. This wave causes the muscle to squeeze and pump blood from the heart. An EKG gives two major kinds of information. First, by measuring time intervals on the machine, a doctor can determine how long the electrical
wave takes to pass through the heart. Second, by measuring the amount of electrical activity passing through the heart muscle, a cardiologist may be able to find out if parts of the heart are too large or overworked.

Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy is a type of medical imaging that shows a continuous x-ray image on a monitor, much like an x-ray movie. It is used to diagnose or treat patients by displaying the movement of a body part or of an instrument or dye (contrast agent) through the body. During a fluoroscopy procedure, an x-ray beam is passed through the body. The image is transmitted to a monitor so that the body part and its motion can be seen in detail.

High-Risk Obstetrics and Maternal-Fetal Medicine Ultrasound

Obstetrical ultrasounds are performed by a sonographer and reviewed by a perinatologist or a medical geneticist who can offer detailed explanations to the patient during the evaluation and provide prompt, accurate feedback to the referring physician. Any abnormal results which require immediate attention are reported by telephone to the patient's physician.

MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a large magnet and radio waves to look at organs and structures inside your body. Health care professionals use MRI scans to diagnose a variety of conditions, from torn ligaments to tumors. MRIs are very useful for examining the brain and spinal cord.

MRI (Wide-Bore)

MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a method used to visualize internal organs and obtain diagnostic information. An MRI scan is a non-invasive procedure and is one of the most accurate and detailed diagnostic imaging techniques available. The procedure is painless and patients won't see or feel anything during the exam. A faint knocking sound will be heard by the patient which is the imaging process in operation. The Wide-bore MRI has an opening about the size of a hula hoop, and is ideal for patients who experience claustrophobia.

Nuclear Medicine/Stress Test

Nuclear medicine uses very small amounts of radioactive materials (radiopharmaceuticals) to diagnose and treat disease. In imaging, the radiopharmaceuticals are detected by special types of cameras that work with computers to provide very precise pictures about the area of the body being imaged. In treatment, the radiopharmaceuticals go directly to the organ being treated.
The amount of radiation in a typical nuclear imaging procedure is comparable with that received during a diagnostic x-ray, and the amount received in a typical treatment procedure is kept within safe limits.

PET Scan

Positron emission tomography, also called PET imaging or a PET scan, is a type of nuclear medicine imaging. Nuclear medicine is a branch of medical imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and determine the severity of or treat a variety of diseases, including many types of cancers, heart disease, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological disorders and other abnormalities within the body.

Sleep Lab

A sleep laboratory is a specialized center that conducts sleep studies. In general, a sleep lab has multiple bedrooms that are set up to conduct sleep studies. These studies are generally not for research or scientific purposes. Instead, they are diagnostic or therapeutic studies.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to look at organs and structures inside the body. Health care professionals use them to view the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, liver and other organs. During pregnancy, doctors use ultrasound tests to examine the fetus. Unlike x-rays, ultrasound does not involve exposure to radiation.

X-Ray

You've probably had an X-ray examination of some part of your body. Health care professionals use them to look for broken bones, problems in your lungs and abdomen, cavities in your teeth and many other problems. For example, mammograms use X-rays to look for tumors or suspicious areas in the breasts.

X-Ray technology uses electromagnetic radiation to make images. The image is recorded on a film, called a radiograph. The parts of your body appear light or dark due to the different rates that your tissues absorb the X-rays.
